Riassunto:

Quantum mechanics does away with the distinction between particles and waves, and one of the more interesting implications of the wave/particle duality - the discovery that atoms may be manipulated in ways analogous to the manipulation of light with lenses and mirrors - has formed the basis for the relatively new field of atom optics. Pierre Meystre's Atom Optics is the first book entirely devoted to this exciting area of research. Reference links to the leading journals in the field, links to research sites, graphics, and updates can be found online.

Recensione:

From the reviews:

"The book is well laid out and elegantly written."-The Physicist

"Atom optics today has reached maturity: It has become both wave (coherent) and nonlinear atom optics. Of course that expansion required generalization in a new book. Pierre Meystre has taken just such a generalist approach in his timely ATOM OPTICS. His were the pioneering works in atom optics; to get information from the first explorer is always most valuable to the reader ... Recommend[ed] to all strata of the physics community.”
–PHYSICS TODAY

"Pierre Meystre has taken ... a generalist approach in his timely Atom Optics. His were the pioneering works in atom optics; to get information from the first explorer is always most valuable to the reader. ... The circle of potential readers of the book is very wide – from graduate students to professors ... . I therefore recommend it to all strata of the physics community." (Vladilen Letokhov, Physics Today, November, 2002)

"Pierre Meystre is a theoretical physicist at the University of Arizona. His book entitled ‘Atom Physics’ is the first book published on the subject. ... This book is well laid out and elegantly written. I believe that this book, combined with Hal Metcalf’s ‘Laser Cooling and Trapping’, forms an excellent introduction at a postgraduate level to atom optics." (A. G. Truscott, The Physicist, Vol. 39 (4), 2002)
